Police have spent two days camped out in a Norfolk village after reports that a gunman was seen in the area, according to locals.

Officers were first sent to Marsham, between Norwich and Aylsham, at around 7.15pm on Tuesday and several ambulances were also dispatched to the scene.

On Wednesday evening, a major police presence was still in the village, with a row of four ambulances spotted parked up.

An incident response unit, a dog unit and a drone unit were also seen in the area.

Police have said their presence was over "concerns for the safety of a man living at an address".

Locals say they understand a man was seen with a gun.

One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: “I heard there was a guy with a gun," he explained.
